Move over James Patterson and David Baldacci ... Michael Carrier is the newest great suspense author!!! Murder on Sugar Island is an intense thrill ride!! Michael Carrier's character Jack Handler is a retired Chicago detective who keeps finding himself suspenseful situations. ... I seriously couldn't put this book down!!! Definitely a must read for those who enjoy David Baldacci, James Patterson and Michael Connelly. Being a Michigander, I loved that this book is based in the UP. When is the next Jack book coming out? --Mario Finally there is a new author who will challenge the likes of Michael Connelly and David Baldacci. In this latest mystery, Sugar Island (in Michigan's beautiful Upper Peninsula) is used as a fitting backdrop to the wild action. It is a fast-paced thriller that you won't want to put down until the final page. --Island Books At last there is a top-rated true murder mystery on the market without a lot of vulgarity. This is one action mystery you can recommend to anyone -- even your teenagers. The twists and turns keep you turning the pages long after you should move on to other things. With the short chapters, you can read a few, then put it down without losing your place, but you won't want to. I believe this is the best murder mystery on the market. Hollywood should definitely look at this one! Congratulations to Michael Carrier on this next chapter in the Jack Handler series -- When's the next one coming? -Bookaholic If you like James Patterson and Michael Connelly, you'll love Michael Carrier. Carrier has proven that he can hang with the best of them (seriously- we're talking Patterson and Connelly) with his newest book. It has all of the great, edge-of-your-seat action and suspense that you'd expect in a good thriller, and it kept me guessing to the very end. Fantastic read with an awesome detective duo- I couldn't put it down! Can't wait to read the next one! -Katie ... Great story line... Could not put it down!!! Met the author this past weekend at the paradise wild blueberry festival in the upper peninsula of Michigan!!! Can not wait for the next book!!! -Kim ... Murder on Sugar Island. Stayed up all night to finish this book....James Patterson move over cause this book is a winner...waiting patiently for his next book....hurry up. -Mona ... Liked It as well as James Patterson novels. Don't read it at the beach or you are sure to get sunburned- I did. I loved the characters it was so descriptive you feel like you know everyone. Lots of action- always something happening- I love the surprise twists. All my friends are reading it now because I wouldn't talk to them until I finished it so they knew it was good. This is my new favorite author! -Sue
